Michele Clerici - Editor - 2004 

Michele served as editor of this CD version of the  Book of Day while she was a senior at  Mount St. Mary’s University where she was a double major in Rhetoric & Communications and Spanish.  Michele hails from Cherry Hill in southern New Jersey. 

As Editor, Michele was responsible for preparing and integrating Robert Chambers’ Book of Days into a user-friendly web document, creating the most efficient links between pages.  Michele brought her knowledge of mass communication to bear on the problem of designing the most efficient and logical taxonomy to allow users to easily locate information with the book.  Of course, we depended upon her great mastery of the English language to ensure our 'tweaks' to Chambers' original presentation would have received his nod of approval had he been alive to review it.
